Answer:

15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If the walker's speed is W, then the biker's speed is 2.5W. In 2 hours, the walker can travel 2W miles while the biker travels 5W. Since 5W-2W=18, 3W=18 and W=6. So the biker travels at a speed of 15 mph.

Answer:

The speed of the biker is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you call the speed of the walker x, and the speed of the biker 2.5x.

Then you know that speed times time equals distance, so you set up and equation. You do x times 2, which is 2x, and then 2.5x times 2, which is 5x. Then, since the distance between them is 18 miles, the equation would be 5x-2x=18. You would get 3x=18, and x is 6. So 6 is the speed of the walker, and 6 times 2.5 = 15, so the speed of the biker is 15.

Answer:

I think: 0 = 3x + b or b = -3x + 0 or x = -b + 0/3 or 3 = -b + 0/x

Sorry if you get this wrong..

Find the intervals over which the function is increasing. I think it's B which is (-oo,-1),(-1,0) but want to make sure
Butoxors [25]
That looks correct. If your graph let's you scroll upward, double check to see if the line crosses 1 on the x axis. as long as it never touches x=1, you answer is correct

Two integers, a and b have a product of 15. what is the least possible sum of a and b?
Neporo4naja [7]
If they're integers, that means they can't be fractions (such as 15/2 and 2).

So the only couples of integers that, when multiplied, result in 15 are:

1 and 15
5 and 3.

(there are no other possibilities as both 5 and 3 are not divisible further).
The smaller of the two sums (15+1; 5+3) is 5+3=8.

The least possible sum of a and b is 8.

Chet started to slow his eating speed down later in the evening. He was
ozzi

Answer:

The unit rate is:

  • 1/8 turkey/per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

As Chet was eating 1/4 of a turkey every 2 hours.

This tells us that every two hours, Chet will eat  175  1/4 of a turkey.

  • Unit rate basically means 'how much of something per 1 unit of something else'.

A unit rate is a rate with a denominator of  1  unit.

This means, in 1 hour, Chet will eat half of what he eats every 2 hours.

so Chet will eat \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{2}=\frac{1}{8} of a turkey in 1 hour.

i.e.

\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{2}=\frac{1}{8}

Therefore, the unit rate is:

  • 1/8 turkey/per hour.
